Given that a majority of people who enter Private Security Contractor positions are current or former military service members, how do/did you feel about working with PSC personnel? Where they typically treated with respect? Or did/do you have a distane for them? I would love to hear stories of missions that where successful/failures due to their presence. How do they effect your everyday life on patrols. Are they professional or did they carry the "gun for hire" attitude that is looked down on?

Like any Soldier you may meet... There are good
mediocre and bad security contractors.
You respect and play well with the first two groups as best you can, and work diligently to get the last group sent home

It really depends on the individual and the company. The best experiences I had were with those who understood their mission was to SUPPORT my mission. When the contractors start to get the attitude that we are there to support/serve them, that is when things start to go south. Had one experiwnce where Access Control Point contractors developed their own SOP for searches and implemented - without consulting the Base Commander. The day this was discovered was not a good day for a LOT of folks.

PV2 Robert H. I recognize ManTech. But that is about it. They were evidently neither so good or so poor that they made any sort of lasting impression. Never heard of the other two.
